Toru Yamamori, of the Japanese affiliate of the Basic Income Earth Network, presented a recent conference paper on the strange coalition of leftists and rightists who came together in 2009 to make basic income a major item on the Japanese political agenda. A brief discussion of Yamamori’s findings is online at: https://7th.welfareasia.org/2010/08/neoliberals-and-the-radical-left-are-in-the-same-basic-income-boat-is-the-debate-in-japan-an-excepti.html
The full paper, “Neoliberals And The Radical Left Are In The Same Basic Income Boat: Is The Debate In Japan An Exception Or Is There A Universal Rationale Behind It?” is not yet publicly available. For more information, contact the author at: toruyamamori@googlemail.com
